any ideas?

anonymous · Answer

what do you mean "ideas?"

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

like ideas on how to start or how to solve this problem

anonymous · Answer

its not really a problem i gave choices to answer.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

I know, but do you have any thoughts on which one to pick?

anonymous · Answer

it could be any one of them. so no i don't have any thoughts on which one to pick.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

well have you heard of something called the solution region?

anonymous · Answer

no i have not. what is it?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

it's essentially the region where any point that lies in that region satisfies every inequality of the system

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

if you graph a bunch of inequalities, it's the region where all the shaded regions overlap

anonymous · Answer

oh okay. thanks.
